For the ask game:

3. Something you wish a commenter had called attention to, but got ignored.

4. Something you hate to see in smut.

5. Something you love to see in smut.

3. this doesn't count since she did eventually but until last week no one noticed the numberwang reference in my yuletide fic.

4. outside of the normal bad writing, I really hate when the build up to the kiss is absolutely outstanding, and the moment of the kiss is incredible...and then the sex is boring, devoid of emotion.

5. I LOVE smutty banter, its really what does it for me. Polite sexual heckling.

10 and 15?

Just did 15, so here's 10. What's your least favorite part about posting?

It used to be the first few hours after posting but I've got better at being more confident in my work so I don't really care about that as much now. Its probably titles these days. Or summaries. But never tags, tags are the best.

15 for the fic writer ask game

15. We all project onto our characters. Where has your personality or life choices leaked onto the page the most?

oh god too much really.

47 literally gets Kizzy in the opportunity to be owned, I have named OCs after long dead pets, friends from uni, old housemates. The marriage spell in not very romantic but extremely legally binding is named after my perfume, the tribe is named after my late father, and the title itself is from a speech I planned to give at a friend's wedding but they ended up getting married in the pandemic with no guests. Tobias and Helen Rieper have the same wedding anniversary as my parents. Everyone's preferences are mine. Diana's joke about 3 olives in a martini makes it a salad is my favourite one to tell bartenders.

also most of the sex scenes I write have an element of actual sex I have had, that's probably the most exposing part, but only to very select people, who would never read this.

17 for the fic writer asks

17. How are you procrastinating today?

Since work finished I made dinner (tuscan kale soup), watched youtube (the second half of the safiya nygaard vegas strip hotelstravaganza), played elden ring (getting the trophies I can get before I go tackle maliketh) and now answering this ask.

THAT SAID...Im in a constant state of procrastination at the moment. Ive written basically nothing. Ugh.

5 and 8 for the spiteful asks! ;)

I just did 5 so 8. Something you love to see in dialogue.

I think the answer is space? The natural pauses and ebb and flow of a conversation. I'm not good at it myself, so I admire it all the more so when I see it done well.
